Scientific paper

Sixty-six very red stars were discovered in the Formax galaxy by blinking a pair of B,V plates. Their mean apparent magnitude is V = 18.4 m and their (B-V) color indices range from 1.6 m to 2.9 m. These stars form on the color-magnitude diagram a natural extension of the giant branch of Fornax. Even though no spectroscopic observations are available to establish the nature of the stars, it is reasonable to suspect that a certain number of carbon stars must be present in Fornax.
